History
Rule of Mazar (2410-2448)
Cerend Presidency (2445-2455)
In 2445, Ulmar Cerend, of the Federal Party, assumed the position of president, at the time a position below the King. The first three years of his rule were largely uneventful for Jimaria, until in 2448 Mazar, long time king and man often credited with the creation of modern Jimaria, died.
Following the death of Mazar, Cerend assumed full executive power, alongside then prime minister Nuray Tsarok (JUF). The pair embarked on a series of domestic and military reforms, culminating in September 2450 when parliament approved a measure to stop recognizing all titles of nobility in Jimaria.
Cerend's second term saw continued focus on domestic improvement. Negotiating financial aid from the High Kingdoms of Alaxia, which funded mining and infrastructure upgrades, including the construction of the first airports in Jimaria, and the start of the Jimarian nuclear program. He was also responsible for negotiating a free trade agreement with Tushinmero, which granted Jimaria access to Thorium deposits.
Prime Minister Tsarok, meanwhile, in August 2452 was able to get parliament to approve the start of the Jimarian Language Program, funding a commission of language professors from across the country to construct a single language for the nation.
Tsarok Presidency (2455-2475)
2455 Jimarian National Election
The 2455 Election saw a fierce presidential campaign between incumbent president Ulmar Cerend of the Federal Party, and incumbent Prime Minister Nuray Tsarok of the Jimarian United Front. The JUF was only able to gain a single seat in parliament, but the Federal Party lost five, leaving a JUF legislative majority without a coalition, and Tsarok was able to secure a national majority to win the presidency. The prime minister would be Arhok Ulgrim.

First Term (2455-2460)
Nuray Tsarok's first term was marked by a focus on military and foreign policy, though not exclusively. Three months into his term, in October 2455, the Tsarok Nuclear Power Plant opened, a Turaz-Varok Thorium Reactor. In January 2456, Tsarok approved Project THUAW, to create a nuclear weapon using the U-233 produced in the Thorium reactor. Through the rest of 2456, a number of infrastructure projects, including road improvements, further airports, and a second nuclear power plant would be completed. In December 2456, Tsarok would assist in the drafting of the International Concord Charter as apart of his duties as President, though it would take many months until August 2457 for the charter to be ratified and the IC formed.
The remainder of Tsarok's first term would see a number of international crises, in 2458 the West Alaxian portion of the DMSO would largely withdraw from the alliance, Jimaria along with them. Thrax, Ginsukyo, Atlantia, and Jimaria soon entering into a new reduced tariff agreement.
In 2459, Ceironia detonated the first Hydrogen Bomb, which started a period of high tensions as fears of global total nuclear annihilation grew, and bunkers were funded to begin construction. In September, the Third Cralasian Order of Northern Qatesh launched a small nuclear strike using Ceironian nuclear weapons. THUAW was given vastly increased funding, and Thraxian spies were caught attempting to steal information from the project, prompting all Thraxian diplomats to be expelled from Jimaria and raising tensions between the two nations.
In the leadup to the 2460 election, Tsarok, with the help of Ulgrim, was able to pass the 2460 Military Reform Act, modernizing the Jimarian Military with equipment such as body armor, and adopting the Jimarian Language for military use.
Second Term (2460-2465)

| Worker’s Party (WP) | 78 | |
| Lothern National Union (LNU) | 10 | |
| Urbaxian National Union (UNU) | 10 | |
The JUF was able to secure an even larger parliamentary majority in 2460, and Tsarok was able to win the presidency by a larger majority than in 2455.
In September, two months after the election, Jimaria would negotiate with Fazar to re-enter the DMSO, and in December, Tsarok and Ulgrim are able to pass what Tsarok would later claim to be his most important accomplishment, the Jimarian Language Education Initiative, which would begin the use of the Jimarian language in schools.
In February, 2461, Project THUAW yields success, and in June Jimaria announces it is the fifth nation to possess an Atomic Bomb (actually being the 8th, due to a number of secret projects). Having developed a weapon, Jimaria quickly moves to join ongoing negotiations among the Security Committee to create a nuclear non proliferation treaty, pointing out a massive loophole in their current draft, and, via the Fazarian representative, presenting a new draft which would be adopted in September.
The remainder of Tsarok's second term is largely uneventful.
Third Term (2465-2470)

|---|---|---|
| President | Prime Minister | |
| Nuray Tsarok (JUF) | Arhok Ulgrim (JUF) | |

| Worker’s Party (WP) | 77 | |
| Lothern National Union (LNU) | 11 | |
| Urbaxian National Union (UNU) | 10 | |
Continuing the trend from the previous re-election, Tsarok wins the presidency by an even larger margin and the JUF secures a slightly larger Parliamentary holding.
An economic crisis in 2466 involving oil prices results in renewed focus in Jimarian energy independence via nuclear power, and as such, three more nuclear reactors are constructed, two Thorium and one Uranium. Toward the end of the term, in 2469, Jimaria successfully develops a hydrogen bomb, and in 2470, Tsarok approves a measure to start ballistic missile and long-range bomber programs.
Fourth Term and Cralasian Nuclear Exchange (2470-2475)

| Urbaxian National Union (UNU) | 9 | |
Tsarok's fourth and final term is largely uneventful until 2474. In July, detonations suspected to be from nuclear weapons are detected in Cralas, and Tsarok orders five Jimarian Army regiments to North Qatesh. By September, an additional 5 army regiments and a number of nuclear equipped long range bombers have been dispatched to Cralas, and when Cralas launches their nuclear arsenal at Suton, Jimarian forces are apart of the retaliation. Following the nuclear exchange, the area of Cralas where Jimarian forces were sent is reformed into the Cralasian Corporate Republic.
After the war, Jimaria sends aid to Suton, and the government begins investing in greenhouses to help negate the effects of the small nuclear winter triggered by the war.
Ulgrim Presidency (2475-2495)
2475 Jimarian National Election
Since Tsarok had served four terms, the maximum number allowed for a president under the Jimarian constitution, the 2475 saw a much more open field than the previous four elections. The major candidates emerged as the heads of their respective parties; Prime Minister Arhok Ulgrim, the dwarf who had served alongside Tsarok for the last twenty years ran under the Jimarian United Front; Kuli Nurtok, of the Federal Party, ran on a campaign bolstered by dissent from the Jimarian Language Project and Anti-War sentiment from Cralas; Lioth Sslath, a Nagani, ran for the Worker's Party on a left-wing platform, and ran a very successful media and advertising campaign, becoming very popular.
In the end, Sslath led his party to an amazing improvement, and they formed a coalition with the JUF, but unlike in previous coalitions, Sslath was chosen to receive almost all of the JUF and WP votes in order to become Prime Minister, while Ulgrim won the general election to become President.
